Topic: NECA Aliens/Prometheus (Read 2389 times)

Was digging around on the internets last night about these lines and found some interesting stuff. I guess the Prometheus line isn't doing all that hot and NECA has announced that the Fifield/Shaw wave is on hold now. But they can still manage to get 2 more holographic Engineers into Wave 3 cause THAT will save the line. Huh?

I'm one of the few people who actually liked that movie I think, and I'm still on the fence about jumping in. They're too expensive and noone but TRU carries them around here. They had that one sale a few weeks back but since then nothing.

The Aliens line still looks cool but noone seems to know when these are supposed to show up. I've heard everything from June - August.

Slice you open like a tauntaun, faster than the Autobahn, Or a motorbike in Tron, do the deed and then I'm gone.

I'm probably out then... I'm guessing very small production runs is part of the pricing on them. They're neat, but I don't really collect Alien/Aliens stuff as much as I like it integrated with my Star Wars shelf somewhat, which makes these a little obsolete looking.

See, that's just an excuse. If they really wanted to emulate Kenner, they could totally lower costs by doing more repaints with new accessories, like Lava Planet Cain, Night Stalker Dallas, Battle Luge Ripley, Urban Strike Alien and Aqua-Armor Ash.

I managed to snag the free catalog and base, and the Early Bird kit, but I'm still awaiting confirmation on the prototype 2-pack. (I pre-ordered that on eBay but as of yesterday the seller had not been able to secure one yet, pretty sure these are gone now)

The aftermarket prices on these are going to be nuts I think. What a great concept though.

No luck on the prototype set. Got the Early Bird set. The guys at the booth were cool enough to give me enough display stands for all the figures in the set though.

So i have picked up a NECA predator figure and the skull set and want to grab an Alien, has there been a release with a face hugger and a chest burster? Not necessarily together but has NECA made them?
